Decided to join Stephen and the club over at the DC since I didn't tempo on Tuesday.  Left the house at 5 a.m and it was 81F and muggysih. Warmed up over to the DC and did a little more with the club after that for a total of 5.5 miles warm up.

5 mile tempo basically around the Mayors loop from the DC up to river road and around. I felt fantastic for .25 and then... Reality set in and I felt normal tempo shiz. My quads are cramping up sooooo fast lately. They just feel horrible/ flat/ dead WAY too fast into workouts. Guess I'll blame it on the heat. IDK.  Ended up finishing the 5 miles at 5:36 avg. Nothing great. But happy to push something out.

4.3 mile cool down after. really started to feel weak, dizzy and super sour stomach on the way back. It's been a week since DesNews half and my stomach still wont settle. Maybe I'm pregnant... crazier things have happened?

PM. 3.5 on the treadmill

I think this humidity is enough to bring a man down and it's definitely not helping our times. Glad you were able to make it!
